Hello John,
I am excited to announce that the third episode of our flagship series, Project Cosmos, is now available on YouTube, listening platforms, and Substack.
In this episode, we discuss the meaning of techno-optimism in contemporary society. We debate whether technology can serve the common good, consider the moral and spiritual challenges of the digital age, and highlight the necessity of subsidiarity, education, and local solutions.
Episode 03 features five distinct voices with expertise in journalism, media, economics, and technology.
- Ross Douthat is a longtime columnist for The New York Times, host of the weekly podcast Interesting Times, and author of The Decadent Society, Bad Religion, and other bestsellers.
- Michael Matheson Miller is the Chief of Strategic Initiatives and Senior Research Fellow at the Acton Institute and producer of the award-winning documentary, Poverty, Inc.
- Aaron M. Renn is a writer, urban analyst, and consultant, and he authored Life in the Negative World: Confronting Challenges in an Anti-Christian Culture (2024).
- Matthew Walther is editor of The Lamp, a Catholic literary journal, and he is a contributing Opinion writer for The New York Times.
- Frank Hanna is an American entrepreneur, merchant banker and philanthropist in conservative networks.
You can watch our full conversation on YouTube or listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. If you prefer to read the discussion, a lightly edited transcript is available on our Substack.
I hope this episode brings you new insights into the technological age from a Judeo-Christian lens.
Best regards,
Johnny Burtka
